Python AWS Boto3 How do i read files from S3 Bucket


Utilizing Boto3, the Python script retrieves files from an S3 bucket, allowing it to read the contents and subsequently write them to a file named blank_file.txt.

My inquiry is regarding how this process would function similarly when the script is executed within an AWS Lambda function.

All answers to this question.


you can utilize that mount point to either save the downloaded S3 files or to generate new ones. The command for this purpose is provided below.

Prior to proceeding with the query, please verify whether the specific file has been successfully downloaded from the S3 bucket. The following outlines the process for downloading from an S3 bucket using Boto3:

To establish and execute this example, you need to:

1. Set up your AWS credentials as detailed in the Quickstart guide.
2. Create an S3 bucket and upload a file to it.
3. Substitute the BUCKET_NAME and KEY placeholders in the code snippet with your bucket's name and the key corresponding to the uploaded file.

I recognize that the knowledge needed to address the query can be effectively illustrated through a demonstration of "how S3 reads data from Python." Here is a brief example:

import boto3 client = boto3. client('s3') #low-level functional API resource = boto3.
import pandas as pd obj = client. get_object(Bucket='my-bucket', Key='path/to/my/table.csv') grid_sizes = pd.
from io import BytesIO obj = client.
my_bucket.
files = list(my-bucket

Here is a AWS Amazon Documentation i found on web

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-s3-example.html

This contains the code to do that with examples.

You can use this function to read the file

exports.handler =(event, context, callback) => {
var bucketName = process.env.bucketName;
var keyName = event.Records[0].s3.object.key;
readFile(bucketName, keyName, readFileContent, onError);
};

This is the code i found and can be used to read the file from S3 bucket using lambda function

def lambda_handler(event, context):
# TODO implement
import boto3
s3 = boto3.client('s3')
data = s3.get_object(Bucket='my_s3_bucket', Key='main.txt')
contents = data['Body'].read()
print(contents)

   Answered 2023-11-17 by Sumeet


You can retrieve the contents of the text file by using data.Body.toString('ascii'), provided that the file was encoded in ASCII format.

Use this code to download the file from aws.

import boto3
s3 = boto3.resource("s3")
srcFileName="abc.txt"
destFileName="s3_abc.txt"
bucketName="mybucket001"
k = Key(bucket,srcFileName)
k.get_contents_to_filename(destFileName)

You can download the file from AWS S3 bucket

import boto3
bucketname = 'my-bucket' # replace with your bucket name
filename = 'my_image_in_s3.jpg' # replace with your object key
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
s3.Bucket(bucketname).download_file(filename, 'my_localimage.jpg')

You can use the blow mentioned code, import boto3 s3 = boto3.resource('s3') obj = s3.Object(bucketname, itemname) body = obj.get()['Body'].read()

  • What is itemname here?

       Commented 2022-08-30 by Vishnu

  • To the best of my knowledge, the itemname referenced here pertains to the file that the function is retrieving and processing.

  • Thankyou it solved my issue.

       Commented 2022-09-14 by Siyaram

  • I executed this code, but it is displaying a task timeout error. Could someone please explain the possible reasons for this issue?

AWS Lambda typically allocates 512 MB of space in the /tmp directory. This mount point can be utilized to store files downloaded from S3 or to generate new files. Below, I have outlined the command for this purpose.

s3client.download_file(bucket_name, obj.key, '/tmp/'+filename) ... blank_file = open('/tmp/blank_file.txt', 'w')

The working directory for Lambda is located at /var/task, which is a read-only filesystem. Consequently, file creation within this directory is not permitted.
